Ok, I guess I just don't get it or understand the philosophy behind this, I mean I do, but I don't really .

People want it because it adds to the realism...
And I think you are/where slightly drUnk.

I suspect that additional complication, and complex animation, to an object/scene will only result in even more strain, to already struggling Frame Rates, (especially with FSX!).

I often have to remove certain complex scenes from my FS 2004 to achieve; "smoothness".

There is a limit to what can be achieved without the ownership of an IBM Supercomputer from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California... ....!

...(..and I haven't got one of those!)... ...!

Paul... ... ...!

P.S. There must be a very good reason why; "Computer Games" can involve highly complex foreground and background animations, running quickly and smoothly, compared to our Flight Simulators.

I always like "Fozzers" answers, he can come up with some of the Darnest things, Super Computers from the Super Computer Labatory out in who knows where - we'd probably need the Secret High end computer from Microsoft they have hidden on their campus, that nobody knows about yet, so far this is the only Secret Photo I have of such Hi-Tech Machinery ~ !!

That's the wrong sort of ATLAS for navigating with

Well, it adds to the realism and helps with taking good screenshots. 8-)
Also, with some of the people and stuff, you'd have to figure out some way to map the airport to the animations so that they don't end up walking through walls, mountains and trying to take other people's airplanes!   Superhumans!!!
Plus, it shows dedication and ability, even if they couldn't add the complete animations.  I put many things into my repaints that I doubt even show up they're so small, and if they do, I wouldn't be able to tell you where half of them are.  It's just a nice thing you can do.  It's kind of like saying with school, "why get a D or higher when I can pass on a D-?".  And yes, for the school grades, here in America, you can.

Last time I checked, i'm pretty sure that was a giant particle accellerator/collider. I've seen it and read about it before.

Geesh!We'd need a B or a C because our principal is a bit...
